Sarah graduated from the London School of Economics in 1977 and was ordained in 1989.[4] Sarah (who took her middle name as her surname) and Rabbi Sheila Shulman were the first openly lesbian graduates of the Leo Baeck College.[3] Sarah was also one of the first ten female rabbis ordained in Britain.[5] Sarah worked as a full-time congregational rabbi for Buckhurst Hill Reform Synagogue, 1989–94, as Director of Programmes for the Reform Synagogues of Great Britain and Deputy Director of the Sternberg Centre, 1994–97, and as a freelance rabbi, including a part-time congregational appointment for the Leicester Progressive Jewish Congregation, 1998–2000.[6]

Sarah has edited five books, written the book Trouble-Making Judaism, and contributed to several journals and anthologies, including writing Chapter 5, "Being a Lesbian Rabbi", in Lesbian Rabbis: The First Generation, by Rebecca Alpert, Sue Levi Elwell and Shirley Idelson (Rutgers University Press, 2001).[6] [7] [8]
